Meet Harshvardhan Joshi, 24 years old outdoor professional. An IT Engineer by education, and an endurance athlete by passion. Most of the time you would find Harsh climbing mountains in the Himalayas if not skiing, kayaking, or spending time with his cats. Harsh started working when he was 15. Just to be independent and enhance his passion for technology, he’d assemble and sell computers around Mumbai.  

Until 2016 Harsh's plan was to do M.S in the US. But with his journeys in the Himalayas, he realized that he doesn't want to be in technology all his life. Then he started preparing for my MBA in Marketing, appeared for many entrances, and did well in a few to secure my admission in some of the premier B-Schools in India, to ultimately take a call letting Everest be his M.B.A as that will help him learn more practical life lessons.  

Through Everest, he wants to test his limits and inspire the masses that if he can do it, so can anyone. With his endeavor, he wishes to reach many more people and inspire them. It makes him really happy when someone reads his story and goes for a run. He is also doing this because of his love for climbing. He wants to show the world that we don’t need to live in excess anymore. While climbing Mt. Everest he is trying to create awareness about sustainable development. He has decided to promote the use of solar energy in the most versatile places on earth and set an example to make conscious choices to create a carbon offset in the future. By scaling Everest with the bare minimum, using solar power and just the essentials, he wishes to motivate the world to transform. Transform into efficient caring individuals, become the force that nurtures our nature. He believes that we have the power and he is going to demonstrate it.   

He needs a minimum of 50,000 USD to climb Mt. Everest, even in the most minimal manner. The permits and Nepal government fees themselves come to over 10 lakhs. He has created a campaign named Sangharsh Mission Mt. Everest - which is Harsh’s ‘sangharsh’ to reach from 0 feet to 29,029 feet - the highest point on earth. He has developed a fundraising website https://sangharsh.co/ using which he has already raised 18.5 lac rupees, which is around 50% of his goal. He is trying to connect with potential sponsors, donors, brands, corporates, and foundations. He believes it is difficult, but nothing good comes easy and he is enjoying the journey thoroughly. He is sure that it is going to work out and he needs your help NOW! He considers himself fortunate that many feel inspired by his story and are motivated to donate to my campaign, which keeps him going.  

With only three months to go, we kindly request our viewers to go through Harsh's website once, witness his journey and passion to climb Everest, and participate in fundraising, if you like. Link - https://sangharsh.co/
